I began recording the narration using a Zoom H5 with foam windscreen. Then I used Audacity to reduce noise and adjust loudness so the details remained clear and consistent. I wanted my voice to be calm and reflective rather than instructional.
The voice is not the centre. It is more like a companion guiding the listener through the sonic changes.
I also collected and cleaned the Khoomei samples and arranged the initial structure in seven stages.
Hearing the first rough draft, I sensed a promising arc. But the problem is balance. How do I let the sound evolve without completely removing its identity. This question is now part of the composition itself.
